Just another day in New Orleans

I'm gonna just throw 2 things in. One, what other cities are doing is irrelevant. It's a red herring and isn't the standard by which to judge what's happening in NOLA. We need to judge the city based on how the city should be.

Two, not everything wrong with the city is because of Cantrell or the city government. There are a lot of issues, economics, cultural, structural and history that has contributed to where the city stands right now. That said, turning the city around has to start with the city government and the local leadership. There's been a clear absence of leadership, and outright corruption for decades. That has to end if the city is ever going to overcome the systemic problems that exist.

As it sits right now, I'm not sure anything changes until the city government is completely revamped.
